I have a Xen virtual machine where I've installed a Jetty 7.4.5, to run an instance of Hudson. It was working fine for about a month. Today we've noticed that Hudson was not able to generate builds. The problem was that we have no more space on disk, because we had a jetty log file from one day ago with 34 Gb of data.
This file contains a lot of messages about DNS, like below:

We've copied the log file to another place, removed it from our server to free space, and have noticed the actual log file being filed with these kind of messages again. Also, we've noticed that jetty is using the following ports (netstat result):
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 1598/java
tcp6 0 0 :::55224 :::* LISTEN 1598/java
udp6 0 0 :::33848 :::* 1598/java
udp6 0 0 :::5353 :::* 1598/java
Does anyone knows why jetty is using the ports different from 8080, and from where does come these DNS messages? We have installed on it only hudson.
